title: Exomethylene-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (emEDOT): a new versatile building block for functionalized electropolymerized poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophenes) (PEDOTs).
abstract: A new versatile thiophene derivative exomethylene-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (emEDOT) is introduced. The molecule can be straightforwardly prepared in two steps from commercially available derivatives and enables facile further derivatization through both acid catalyzed additions of alcohols and standard thiol-ene click chemistry. The preparation of electrochromic materials and of an electrochemical avidine sensor is shown by the oxidative polymerizations of several functionalized EDOT monomers straightforwardly prepared from emEDOT.
